Don't worry if the batter for this traditional German staple seems a bit thin—it should be more liquidy than a normal dough.
Ingredients:
1 cup ricotta cheese, greek yogurt, or buttermilk
3 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions:
1. 1. Boil a large pot of salted water.
2. 2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the flour. Blend well, then slowly stir in the flour until the mixture becomes a stiff batter.
3. 3. Place a colander with large holes over the pot and, with a rubber spatula, press small amounts of the batter through the holes directly into the water.
4. 4. As the spaetzle gradually rise to the surface of the boiling water, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a serving dish. Serve immediately, while still warm.
